9 // This pass hoists instructions to enable speculative execution on
10 // targets where branches are expensive. This is aimed at GPUs. It
11 // currently works on simple if-then and if-then-else
12 // patterns.
13 //
14 // Removing branches is not the only motivation for this
15 // pass. E.g. consider this code and assume that there is no
16 // addressing mode for multiplying by sizeof(*a):
17 //
18 //   if (b > 0)
19 //     c = a[i + 1]
20 //   if (d > 0)
21 //     e = a[i + 2]
22 //
23 // turns into
24 //
25 //   p = &a[i + 1];
26 //   if (b > 0)
27 //     c = *p;
28 //   q = &a[i + 2];
29 //   if (d > 0)
30 //     e = *q;
31 //
32 // which could later be optimized to
33 //
34 //   r = &a[i];
35 //   if (b > 0)
36 //     c = r[1];
37 //   if (d > 0)
38 //     e = r[2];
39 //
40 // Later passes sink back much of the speculated code that did not enable
41 // further optimization.
42 //
43 // This pass is more aggressive than the function SpeculativeyExecuteBB in
44 // SimplifyCFG. SimplifyCFG will not speculate if no selects are introduced and
45 // it will speculate at most one instruction. It also will not speculate if
46 // there is a value defined in the if-block that is only used in the then-block.
47 // These restrictions make sense since the speculation in SimplifyCFG seems
48 // aimed at introducing cheap selects, while this pass is intended to do more
49 // aggressive speculation while counting on later passes to either capitalize on
50 // that or clean it up.
51 //
52 // If the pass was created by calling
53 // createSpeculativeExecutionIfHasBranchDivergencePass or the
54 // -spec-exec-only-if-divergent-target option is present, this pass only has an
55 // effect on targets where TargetTransformInfo::hasBranchDivergence() is true;
56 // on other targets, it is a nop.
57 //
58 // This lets you include this pass unconditionally in the IR pass pipeline, but
59 // only enable it for relevant targets.
